Who’s Your “Baby Daddy?” Alec Mapa, That’s Who!

Over the years as Alec Mapa has entertained us either in his stand-up, various TV hosting duties and acting in series like Ugly Betty and on Broadway in M. Butterfly. The man has built a body of work that shows he’s never compromised and has always been true to himself.

Mapa receives the Outfest FusionAchievement Award this weekend prior to the screening of his one-man concert film, Baby Daddy, directed by Andrea James, which chronicles his journey to becoming a father with husband, Jamie Hebert. The Award is part ofOutfest Fusion LGBT People Of Color Film Festival, which is being held in Hollywood at the Egyptian Theater from March 14-16.
